Wednesday is the final day to request a mail-in ballot for next week's primary election.

If you don't request a mail-in ballot, the remaining options are early voting through Saturday and voting Tuesday on Election Day. All mail-in ballots have to be received by the Lee County Elections Office by 7 p.m. Aug. 28.

The ballot includes gubernatorial primaries for both parties, several county school board races and rare Democratic primaries for U.S. representative and state representative.

Tommy Doyle, Lee County Supervisor of Elections, predicts 25 percent turnout, with half of the votes coming via the mail, 30 percent in early voting and 20 percent on Election Day.

So far, the vote total for the state is a little over 1.1 million, with more than 900,000 coming through the mail.

In Lee County, 15.15 percent of eligible voters have cast ballots, with 61,108 coming through the mail and 4,874 in early voting, as of 3 p.m. Tuesday. The breakdown includes 39,735 Republicans, 18,049 Democrats, 8,031 with no-party affiliation and 170 other parties.

In Collier, 16.8 percent of registered voters have cast ballots, with 30,173 through the mail and 4,983 in early voting.
